The reality star told Andy Cohen last night on Watch What Happens Live that she and Giudice "are in a much better place than we've been in a long time."

"I've reached out and spoke to Teresa [since the indictment]," Gorga told the host. "She knows I have her back, and that the kids, of course, are the number-one priority, and that's what [husband] Joe and I are always here for... no matter what."

Giudice fled to Florida over the weekend (as pictured above) and appeared at a red carpet event at Pangea nightclub.

She's next due in court on August 14 - and Gorga says the "key" thing for the family is the bond between her three kids and the four Teresa shares with her husband, Joe Giudice.

"That's the most important part," Melissa said. "My husband [only] has one sister."

So here is my feedback. There has been clear evidence that Melissa cheated on Tarzan while they were married. Not only this but Melissa's past is rather checkered to include a THEFT conviction in Florida while she was living there. The past 2 seasons, Bravo.has been miliking the "teresa v melissa feud" and has created and continues to point all the rumors or stories about Melissa to Teresa (and that Teresa is planting stories or lying about all of it). I believe that Bravo is being very smart about this! They know that Teresa and Joe G are in SERIOUS trouble and are most likely going to be off the show one way or another within the year. What's going to be left when that hapens? The rest of the cast is about as boring as it gets! This is where Bravo inserts and focuses HARD on Melissa's checkered past. The cheating, the stalking behavior with her Ex, the theft, her whoring ways, etc etc. That is the only way this show coninues and I could see this new story line lasting a couple of seasons on its own. Time will only tell but if I was a betting man I would go all in on this prediction. Sincerely, Walter H. White
